Location...Ballinora is located just south-west of Cork City and to the south of Ballincollig.
It can be accessed by taking Exit 1 on the Ballincollig bypass or going via Waterfall. See the course map below.
Course..... The 5k starts just to the north of Ballinora on a quiet country road.
The course is pretty reasonable with a gentle climb although it does have a bit of a see-saw finish...
There are two small hills at the end which while a bit testing are also quite short. An action packed last km! :o)
Considering its location so close to Cork City, its for a good cause and the fact that it's a new race, it should get a lot of interest.
